SQL music playlist database design
I had a question about how to structure my tables for a database with songs and playlists. My initial thought was to create a table of playlists titles and id's and then a playlists songs table that holds the songs unique id and the playlist in which it belongs to.
The other plan was to create a new table for each playlist that gets created and store the song information inside each table for the playlist. The question is, would this be a good approach or is there some reason that creating these new tables would be bad for performance or any other reason? Thanks for the help!
Answer
How about something like this?
Songs:
id title length artist_id
Artists:
id name
Playlists:
id title user_id
Playlists_Songs:
playlist_id song_id
Users:
id name email
